Yes LL.. will go overdrawn.. just trying to desperatly keep it to a minimum.. looks like it's gonna be ~800o/d at the moment and I'll never get out of that..

There's some stuff I can reduce for next month so that I can start getting out of it again but I need to pay some stuff tht won't wait this month

Are you in London? Doing focus groups for market research used to bring me in some money (cash!) for doing a couple of hours in an evening watching some ads/talking about a new product.

have you been for a benefits check to make sure you are getting all you are entitled to?

MascaraOHara · 01/08/2008 22:37

I'm not entitled to any benefits.

Could look into a carboot but lots of prep and would struggle I think to have a stand and keep dd(6) entertained.

Could you put a card in the newsagents and do some ironing when dd is in bed?

GrinningGorilla · 01/08/2008 22:43

Advertise in local shops to do ironing. You can charge at least £8 per hour.

nancy75 · 01/08/2008 22:43

you dont have to prepare stuff for a car boot, just sling it in the car, get a pasting table form someone and dump it all on the table when you get there - they love a rummage! make dd look really really poor (in an oliver twist kind of way) you might get more money off people

GrinningGorilla · 01/08/2008 22:44

Sorry Avena, by the time I finished typing you had got there. Great minds think alike eg?!!

CarGirl · 01/08/2008 22:44

Our dds love helping us at the car boot and were okay about us selling their old stuff.

AvenaLife · 01/08/2008 22:47

I've got just under 1K to magic from somewhere in 5 weeks. It will be hard.

No real prep needed for car boot. Best not to price. You offer price - they accept or offer alternative - you don't like it - don't take.it. If you think you can get a better price on ebay, then save it. As long as you make your entrance fee you are in profit.

it is amazing what you can sell at a car boot sale, make sure you go to one that is fairly busy - ie Sunday morning one, ask around get recommendations.

I agree with KM's suggestion of working. I do hope she wasn't referring to the oldest profession though ...
